Hello Mick,

As far as I know MAM have most of the things needed to complete the restoration, exept one thing.

We have one of the undercarriage legs on display in our museum. As you know TA122 was used for instruction purposes at Delft before it was put in storage and eventually ended up in Britain. The leg has been partially sectioned to be able to see the rubber compression blocks.

Also at Delft the wings were sawn into sections to see the sandwich construction. Several sections of these are extant in the Aviodome, Soesterberg also has a section of wing and there are examples still at Delft where I saw them some time ago.

I recently spoke to the curator at the Technical University and was told that we will be informed when they have a clear out. There are still many interesting parts to be found there.

Cees
